Types of Transistors
Download "Chapter III : Transistors" (PDF:2.0MB)
Transistors are roughly classified into three types: bipolar, field effect and insulated gate bipolar.
Bipolar transistors are current-driven devices. Field-effect transistors (FET) and insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) are voltage-driven devices.
